And I thought I had neck problems!

As some of you know I do have problems from time to time with my neck, so when I saw this giraffe I felt quite sorry for it.

Apparently giraffe's have the same 7 bones in their neck as humans do, but theirs are gigantic.

Thank God I say that I have not got that long neck my short one is enough with its arthritic problems !!

Super capture and such a calm serene look on that face !

[Ilona]

Great capture Babs !! I don't think he is not camera shy :)

[Rachel]

Lovely shot, he posed for you.

[Annie D]

i love giraffes Babs - and yes they have the same number of vertebrae in their neck as us - how amazing is that

[Cathy Breen]

Gorgeous capture Babs, I love giraffes, they are so photogenic.

[Kane Arlow]

Great shot. I think their tongue is prehensile too.

[sally agnew]

What a beautiful face :-)

[Angela Tavan]

That's an awful lot of neck to hold up a comparatively small head! Neck pain is the pits!
Nice capture, btw

[gayelene]

wow a fantastic photo i love these animals :) fav

[*lynn]

Lovely shot.. the giraffe is so beautiful

[Molly]

These are wonderful, graceful creatures.

[Hazel]

Nice one and like the info, thanks - also like giraffes!

[Kathie]

Giraffes are such unique looking animals. Love that he's looking at you. Likely thinking...you know she has 7 vertebrae in her neck, isn't that odd.

[Pat Knowles]

I wouldn't like a crick in that neck......he is very handsome isn't he? Rather graceful despite the size.

[April]

Beautiful shot! I love giraffes' eye lashes; have you ever noticed how lush and long the are?

[Babs]

@beryl Know the feeling Beryl. My neck gives me trouble too.

[Babs]

@ibt I think he is used to being photographed.

[Babs]

@888rachel He was posing.

[Babs]

@annied Even though they have the same number of vertebrae theirs are huge. I would imagine that would be painful if he had my neck problems ha ha.

[Babs]

@cathy366 @karlow75 @hermann Thanks so much.

[Babs]

@angelat Thanks Angela. Tell me about it, my neck gives me a lot of trouble. I keep looking for a new one on ebay, not come across one yet though ha ha.

[Babs]

@onlyme111 Thanks so much for the fav.

[Babs]

@lynnz @dolphin @quietpurplehaze Thanks so much. There was a baby one here too, but I couldn't get a decent photo of that one. He was sitting down and had terrible trouble trying to stand up again. Know that feeling too. ha ha.

[Babs]

@kathiecb ha ha. He is probably wondering how I can fit 7 vertebrae in my neck, such a short neck.

[Babs]

@happypat I wouldn't like a crick in that neck either. I have enough troubles with my own.

[Babs]

@april16 Yes I agree their eyelashes are gorgeous. I couldn't get a close enough shot of that though.

[Annie D]

@onewing I imagine it would be - hope you are ok atm :)

@onewing

A few years ago, giraffe in Marwell Zoo, about 3 miles from our house, fell over and they just couldn't get him up again and very sadly he had to be put down.
